“These truckers should not be behind the wheel,” Gursten says

Steven Gursten of Michigan Auto Law was featured as an attorney expert on CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley. Gursten spoke on truck drivers with serious medical conditions who should not be behind the wheel.

He told CBS that as an attorney, he sees medically unfit drivers causing accidents “all of the time”:

“For the trucking companies, they want to look the other way, even though they know these truckers really should not be behind the wheel because they’re too dangerous for everybody else on the road. But they need to put drivers behind the wheel so they can get paid.”
